From all I know is we can only unlock bootloader for the Exynos Version. Thanks and Huge love if you guys can show me the link or anything else to make my USA S10 free.
Thank you!

you cannot convert the US phones to dual sim because they dont have 2 seperate imei numbers
I mean they do but one is tied directly to the esim not a physical sim

I dont have s20 so Im limited what I can make
If tokens can be updated to flash higher bootloaders then I will adjust files accordingly
This works great! I flashed the entire U1 DUB7 update with the force wipe with BL files in the USERDATA slot. Everything went well.
Tried this on my G981V and failed on (auth). Was worth the try although I soft bricked my phone lol

The ones without bootloaders will work. The NO_BL ones. Probably have to use the force wipe one
So, if I have the S20+ (US Cellular) and want to try the 3.1 firmware:
1.) Download the firmware
2.) Put your file for it into user data field in Odin
3.) Put in AP, CSC (home or whatever to not overwrite my USC one I think) and the rest EXCEPT for the bootloader into Odin
4.) Flash as usual and then everything should work. I'll keep my unlock and be able to use the 3.1 firmware?

I did it that way, used the BL included file and flashed all the stock files, after the full wipe everything that I needed was included. Worked great, on UI 3.1 rn
It worked for me also, thanks for making this.
hi jrkruse i just got an A71 5g unlocked (thanks afaneh92), and i was wondering if you could make an aio userdata file for it? so i can flash ui 3.1 firmware to it? like this for my s20 ultra..(this thread)

Stuck in download mode

Hi, I have a problem while trying to flash root on my SM-T870(Samsung Tab S7).
I tried to flash the stock AP file with Odin but it didn't fix it. I think the issue was, that I didn't unlock the OEM bootloader.
Any way that I can fix
EDIT: I fixed it
Hello
I think you need to flash all three of AP, BL, & CSC files together in ODIN.

Question A52 5G Bootloop after Flashing Magisk Patched boot.img

I wanted to root my A52 5G (SM-A526B) i first unlocked the bootloader
then i downloaded my Firmware with Frija and patched the boot.img with Magisk then i went into download mode and flashed it with Odin
Odin gave me a Green PASS Message and i knew i needed to factory reset with recovery mode but i couldnt get into it then i got into a boot loop with the Samsung Galaxy Bootlogo
then i tried to flash Twrp with odin to factory reset because i couldnt get into the stock recovery mode Odin again gave me a PASS Message then i tried to get into recovery mode but it still didnt work and now im trying to flash Stock Firmware but cant get it to work what should i do
The picture is what happens when i try to boot please help me to flash stock firmware
When i try to flash Stock Firmware it fails at the very end on vbmeta.img
The a52 5g doesn't have twrp currently. Also, you might have flashed the incorrect firmware.
Plus, just for you to know, you do not need to do factory reset after flashing your firmware. What steps have you taken to flash this firmware? How did you patch magisk? Show the steps so we can help you cuz you might have done something wrong
Ok it seems that your mistake here is that you are trying to flash boot.img. so what you actually suppose to do is to download the firmware, take the AP file from the firmware(don't extract the file!). Then, move the file to your phone and download magisk on your phone. You will see that magisk is offering you to install magisk on the top corner of your screen. You need to choose to patch the file, the AP file. Once magisk done, on your file explorer(probably in downloads) a file called "magisk_patched xxxx.tar" (the xxxx representing the version of magisk). Take this file and copy it to your computer, and on Odin, instead of using the AP file, use the magisk file. Boom, done. Now first, we need to recover your phone to its original condition. Take the AP file and flash it(not the boot.img!)

Try flashing other parts of firmware, not just AP
i.e. BL, CSC and CP
But don't add home_csc (USERDATA).
If all fails, you can use EDL mode to flash firmware

Question How to update after I rooted my device?

As I flashed HK firmware I can't receive ota updates. So I can only update my phone through flashing firmware. How to flash new firmware without clearing data and also I rooted my IV, can I not flash bootloader or I should flash bootloader and reroot it?
Just extract the boot image of the new firmware you want to flash and patch it with magisk, flash the firmware preserving userdata, and then flash the patched boot.img to get root back.
EDIT: Make sure to run newflasher set_active:a before flashing or else you will get a boot loop. No idea why.

I found someone say that remove userdata.sin in firmware before flashing so I can preserve my data. Is that true?

Newflasher will prompt you if you want to preserve data. If you don't trust that you can look into update.xml and delete all the files marked NOERASE (delete from the firmware folder, not from the xml file).
